After her poor family sells her, the almost-human Collie travels 1,000 miles to return to them. Academy Award Nominations: Best (Color) Cinematography.
The first in the series of "Lassie" movies. Here, Sam Carraclough sells the collie to a rich family, much to the dismay of both Lassie, and Sam's young son Joe. Lassie misses the Carracloughs so much that, with "dogged" determination, she attempts a dangerous, adventure-filled cross-country trip back home. Will the boy and his dog be reunited?
LASSIE COME HOME was added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1993.
Filmed in three-strip Technicolor.
